General Introduction
This chapter introduces the key philosophical issues of the book e.g., imagined seeing, narration, face-to-face seeing, and mediated seeing. There is a set of puzzles, originally identified by Bernard Williams, about what it is for an audience to see a fiction in a movie or play from a point of view. These issues are identified, and it is explained how these issues have a bearing on the theory of narrative when that theory is applied to film.
Keywords: imagined seeing, narration, narrative, Bernard Williams, face-to-face seeing, mediated seeing, point of view
